You should be able to run the car with the radiator cap off and when the thermostat opens, it will suck in the coolant and then top it off. Either that or there must be a bleeder screw atop the thermostat housing for bleeding.

8 What would result if the thermostat were to be installed upside down Why?
If you look at the bottom of the thermostat you will see the spring wrapped around the valve that goes up & down to open & close the thermostat. The spring is made from heat sensitive metal and is what opens and closes the thermostat as it expands & contracts. If the thermostat is installed upside down, the spring will not be in the coolant and will not open until it gets hotter than the specified temp of the thermostat and could cause overheating problems and coolant flow issues.

They can be safer, as long as they are installed correctly. They don't need a brick chimney for venting, they also can be installed near wood because they are insulated to prevent overheating. They are just as safe, if not safer, as brick installed fireplaces.
